Yields 1 Pie

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 8 oz. Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 cup Onion; chopped
  • 2/3 cup Tortilla Chips (Crushed Fine)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic (Chopped fine)
  • 2 cups of Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
  • 2 teaspoons of Chili Powder
  • 1¼ cups Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Dried Oregano
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Salt
  • 3/4 cup Bisquick mix (Your own homemade blend or the store bought)
  • 1/4 tablespoon of Pepper

Directions:

First pre-heat your oven to 400°. Next grease a 10 inch pie plate with either Pam, Crisco or any other type of common shortening. After that you should brown your hamburger with the onions and drain the grease  leftover from the meat. Then, stir the garlic, chili powder, oregano, salt pepper and 1/2 a cup of enchilada sauce into the meat. Spread crushed tortilla chips evenly on the pie plate and top with 1½ cups of shredded cheese. Spread the meat mixture into the pie plat evenly.

Next, beat the milk, eggs and homemade Bisquick mixture until it’s smooth. Put this mixture into a blender for 15 seconds on high. When it’s done blending, pour it into the pie plate and bake it for about 25-30 minutes (or until a knife comes out clean). When it’s done baking, spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle the remaining cheese on it. Bake again until the cheese on top is melted (about 3-5 minutes more). Let it cool for about 10 minutes and top with sour cream and/or fresh avocado slices (optional).
